Sky say his buyout is 50m euros which Madrid were happy to pay but city offering just less plus player on loan.
Trying to recall any other CB's that have moved from La liga to prem and how they've done. Only one can think of is Gabriel that's gone to arsenal and barely played.
There was a fellow who moved to United who didn't turn out too bad, plays for some team called Barcelona now
Ahh, so they wasted money on Navas and Cassila and got rid of Cassilas so they could wait a year to give de Gea a £12m tempter. Got it
Stones looks quality but if we're seriously considering forking out £35m on a CB, I would prefer they spent it on an expwrienced leader in Otamendi.
That performed in the prem I meant. Many attackers say that prem defenders are more physical where as Spanish league defenders are technically better. That's why curious if there are any that have crossed over and been successful.
Well I guess they were trying to sign him now hence the low bids vut as you guys aren't budging for anything was than WR fee it seems, maybe they've changed their target. And they signed Navas last year
Good point I cant think of any. Salgado is the only one that comes to mind but his best years were well and truly behind him.
Salgado for Bolton? Blast from the past, remember him, Ivan Herero, okacha in that Bolton team. Golden oldies!
Demichelles is only one can think of although he played in Germany a lot which is similar. Think the type of defending in the Spanish and Englishwaguea are very different so would be a big gamble to spend that kind of money on someone. Surprised nether of you city of Chelsea have gone in for hunmells
